Compact MRI systems
Introducing our
3T MR system
for dedicated
MSK extremity
imaging
A MR system that has been designed and optimised specifically
for MSK extremity imaging applications
Key features:
3T (Tesla) magnetic field strength
Dry magnet (no liquid helium required)
Strong gradients (70 mT/m field strength)
Multi-channel accessory RF coils
RF coils optimised for the respective joint(s)
Improved patient experience:
No claustrophobia concerns
Quieter operation during scans
Distance arm or leg to be placed into bore minimised
Improved patient comfort during scanning
Sitting and reclining options on chair
We are enabling a world where high-field compact MRI systems unlock opportunities
for enhanced clinical diagnostic imaging services close to the patient point-of-care.
Many more potential installation locations:
No need to be located near building exterior
Locate on higher floors of buildings
Minimised imaging suite footprint
Reduced infrastructure installation modifications
Use existing corridors, lifts & doorways for installation
We are nearing completion of our commercialisation activities!
Please note: Product is a prototype only – not yet available for sale as a regulatory approved medical device
(….. but we are working to change that asap)
Patented asymmetric magnet technology in use
When compact magnets utilise Magnetica's patented asymmetric technology, the body part to be scanned does not need to be positioned as far
inside the MRI system.
Our system may be compact,but big things come in small packages!
A 3T MR system's magnetic field is around 60,000 times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field. 3T systems deliver increased image resolution capabilities; crucial for high-quality MR imaging.
Compact superconducting magnets:
a key enabling technology
Our high / very high field compact superconducting magnets are smaller, lighter, and help to deliver more economical and smaller MRI systems, whilst maintaining the gold standard of imaging quality expected by clinicians. MRI systems using our technology are capable of being installed and operated in a range of new locations previously inaccessible to whole-body MRI systems, opening up a range of opportunities for the operator.
Our compact superconducting magnets are designed using our asymmetric magnet IP. Shifting the imaging zone towards the patient chair/bed improves patient comfort by reducing how far the limb or head being imaged needs to be moved into the MRI system.
